(1) Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) informs daily clinical interventions with the purpose of seeking changes to traditional practice through scientific evidence that justifies the reasons for our actions. The objectives were to describe the barriers, beliefs, and attitudes in the application of EBP among university health professionals (not doctors) and to evaluate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic among them. (2) Methods: This prospective study is both descriptive and observational. The individuals under study were university health professionals (not doctors) from various autonomous regions within Spain, in both public and private spheres. Sociodemographic and labor-related variables linked to the research and its completion were studied. Likewise, the survey instrument Health Sciences Evidence-Based Practice questionnaire (HS-EBP) was administered to evaluate the barriers to, beliefs in, and attitudes towards evidence-based practice. (3) Results: A total of 716 responses were gathered, of which 387 were collected during the period of confinement, and 343 in the COVID-19 post-confinement period. Possible associations that might help respond to the objectives were explored through a correlational study between the sociodemographic variables and each sub-scale of the HS-EBP 30 questionnaire ( = 716). (4) Conclusions: Barriers to, beliefs in, and attitudes towards evidence-based practice are described. There is a leadership gap where line management provides insufficient motivation to follow work routines. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense stress among health professionals. The post-confinement group showed a significant change in the variables "beliefs and attitudes", and likewise in the "evaluation" block, justified by the need to update knowledge and to apply evidence.
(1) 背景：循证实践（EBP）为日常临床干预提供信息，目的是通过科学证据寻求对传统实践的改变，证明我们行动的原因。目的是描述大学卫生专业人员（非医生）在应用循证实践中的障碍、信念和态度，并评估 COVID-19 大流行对他们的影响。
(2) 方法：这是一项前瞻性研究，兼具描述性和观察性。研究对象为来自西班牙各自治区的大学卫生专业人员（非医生），包括公立和私立领域。研究了与研究及其完成相关的社会人口学和劳动变量。此外，还使用健康科学循证实践问卷（HS-EBP）评估了循证实践的障碍、信念和态度。
(3) 结果：共收集了 716 份回复，其中 387 份是在禁闭期间收集的，343 份是在 COVID-19 禁闭后收集的。通过对 716 份问卷的社会人口学变量与 HS-EBP30 问卷各子量表之间的相关性研究，探讨了可能有助于回答目标的关联。
(4) 结论：描述了循证实践的障碍、信念和态度。领导层存在差距，一线管理人员提供的激励不足以遵循工作常规。COVID-19 大流行给卫生专业人员带来了巨大压力。禁闭后组在“信念和态度”以及“评估”模块中的变量发生了显著变化，这是由于需要更新知识和应用证据。
